Examples typical of their preparation are as follows (i) 4-amino-N- [4 - (2,4 - di - tert - pentylphenoxy)butyl] - 1- hydroxy - 2 - naphthamide is condensed with 4 - acetamido - 8 - [4 - N - (dimethylaminomethylene)sulphamoylphenylazo] - 5 - hydroxy- 1 - naphthalene sulphonyl chloride to give a compound of the formula i.e. a compound of Formula (I) wherein m is zero and Car constitutes the amino radical from the first named reactant plus SO 2 ; (ii) the compound of the formula i.e. a compound of Formula (I) containing 2 Car moieties, is prepared similarly; (iii) 4-maminobenzenesulphonamido - N - [4 - (2,4 - ditert - pentylphenoxy)butyl] - 1 - hydroxy - 2- naphthamide in CF 3 CO 2 H under N 2 in an icemethanol bath is added to an aqueous NaNO 2 solution and the resulting diazonium salt in solution is coupled with 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene to give a compound of the formula i.e. a compound of Formula (III) wherein m is zero (compounds wherein m is 1 are prepared similarly); (iv) 4 - (m - aminophenylsulphonamido) - N - [4 - (2,4 - di - tert - pentylphenoxy) butyl] - 1 - hydroxy - 2- -naphthamide is diazotized and coupled with 5-p-toluenesulphonamido-1-naphthol to give a compound of the formula i.e. a compound of Formula (III) wherein m is zero; and (v) sulphanilic acid is diazotized and coupled with an appropriately 5-substituted naphthol to give a compound of the formula i.e. a compound of the Formula (II). In other examples different diazotization and coupling conditions are used, e.g. in one the amine is treated with isopentyl nitrite in THF and the product added to a solution of the coupling component in acetic and propionic acids followed by a little pyridine, and another is similar except that the pyridine is omitted. Starting materials.-4 - Acetamido - 8 - [4- N - (di - methylaminomethylene)sulphamoylphenylazo] - 5 - hydroxy - 1 - naphthalene sulphonyl chloride is prepared from sodium 4 - acetamido - 5 - hydroxy - 8 - (4 - sulphamoylphenylazo) - 1 - naphthalene sulphonate, DMF and thionyl chloride, the sulphonate being in turn prepared by coupling diazotized sulphanilamide with 8-acetamido-1-acetoxy-5- naphthalene sulphonic acid pyridine salt, with concomitant hydrolysis of acetoxy to hydroxy. Other intermediates of similar structure are prepared by analogous methods, e.g. 4-benzamido - 8 - [4 - (N - benzenesulphonylsulphamoyl)phenylazo] - 5 - hydroxy - 1 - naphthalene - sulphonic acid chloride is prepared from the sodium salt of the free acid and PCl 5 . 4 - Acetamido - 8 - (4 - chlorosulphonylphenylazo) - 5 - hydroxy - 1 - naphthalenesulphonyl chloride is prepared from sodium 4-acetamido-5- hydroxy - 8 - (4 - sulphamoylphenylazo) - 1- naphthalene sulphonate and chlorosulphonic acid and other intermediates of similar structure are prepared similarly. N-[5-hydroxy-8-(mfluorosulphonylphenylazo) - 1 - naphthyl] methanesulphonamide is prepared by diazotization and coupling. The corresponding m-chlorosulphonyl compound is prepared similarly, and is reacted with ethyl chloroformate to give N- [5 - ethoxycarbonyloxy - 8 - (m - chlorosulphonylphenylazo) - 1 - naphthyl]methanesulphonamide. Specification 1,405,662 is referred to, and compound XLIV thereof is disclaimed.
